...actually established on a firm base of genocide & slavery.

Let's do a little history, shall we? Hmmm...opium for tea, the Battle of Omdurman, Jallianwala Bagh, Peterloo, Boer internments, Amherst and Bouquet and smallpox blankets, the Acadian deportations, Cecil Rhodes, Charles Cornwallis, Oliver Cromwell, the Highland Clearances, absentee landlords, the Slave Trade Act of 1807 (which abolished the British trade in slaves but not slavery itself -- that wouldn't happen until 1833 or about 300 years after Britain started dealing in and using African slaves)...no, EVERY country in the world seems to have been established on bases of genocide and slavery. Every stinkin' one.
